“…According to literature [4,6,7], several kinetic models of essential oil extraction from plants have been reported. However, a general kinetic modeling of the essential oils by steam-and/or hydro-distillations considering both tissue diffusion and surface transportation of the oils is still under development.…”

“…Among the aforementioned methods, steam distillation is commonly used for essential oil extraction due to safety, simple and environmental-friendly operations. In addition, high quality oil can be obtained without decomposition since the oil vapors are entrained by the steam flows during the extraction process and the surrounding water is a barrier to keep the materials off overheating or charring [4].…”

Essential oils from parts of plants such as stump, flower, kernel, and seed are usually produced by extraction, distillation and mechanical press. In practice, steam distillation is commonly used for the extraction of crude essential oils since it is not only a simple process but also applicable at various scales. Furthermore, the method makes it possible for a keeping of precious components of the oils unchanged. Therefore, studies on kinetics and modeling of the essential oil steam distillation are needed for the optimization of the operating conditions, energy requirement, and the process scale-up.In this work, experiments of lemongrass (Cymbopogon Citratus) steam distillation were carried out and a kinetics model was developed for the extraction of lemongrass essential oil. Raw materials were pretreated by natural drying, primarily crushing and chopping prior to the distillation. The oil yield obtained is in the range of 2.1 -2.9 ml/kg of raw materials. Composition of the crude oil extracted was measured by GC-MS. Measurements showing that the oil product contains 70.5 % of precious component-Citral in which Neral is 29.8 % and Geranial 40.7 %. The kinetics parameters were estimated from experimental data conducted at various operating conditions for different preparation of the raw materials. The process rate constant (extraction rate constant) describing the extraction efficiency obtained from this study is varied from 0.02 to 0.027 min -1 using first-order kinetic model.

“…(17) SOVOVÁ & ALEKSOVSKI (2006) consideram no modelo dois tipos de partículas: a primeira formada triturando-se um material relativamente isotrópico, como semente ou raiz, e a segunda formada por desintegração de ervas que têm uma parte do óleo essencial depositado em tricomas glandulares, na superfície das suas folhas e outras partes planas e fi nas.…”

Over the last few years the impact of products from natural sources in food, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, flavors/fragrances, and also the pharmaceutical industry has increased due to the consumer demand for nature-derived products. Meeting this demand requires that existing manufacturing processes have to be optimized and process development for a variety of new products, sometimes with short life cycles, has to be accelerated. A scientific literature review covering equipment and modeling for plant-based extractions shows an enormous demand for new approaches in process design for solvent extraction, isolation, and purification of ingredients from botanical sources and its transfer from academic research into manageable solutions for industrial use. An approach combining the design of experiments and rigorous process modeling on the one hand and an intensified collaboration between different disciplines including process engineering, botany, and analytical chemistry on the other hand seems to be the only way forward to address the current issues and shortcomings systematically and efficiently. Hence, a standard apparatus for the assessment of the governing process parameters for plant-based extraction processes is proposed.
